50 Best Italian Restaurants near Bolingbrook

“I ordered the Grilled Chicken Margherita with Minestrone soup. It was very good and the portion was good also. I normally order Pasta (Chicken Scampi) but wanted to try something different.
I really like that you could also order a take home meal for only $6 now.“

“Excellent service Saturday evening May 18th. Above and beyond. Thank you!“

“Every Friday night is pizza for our family.“

“Most delicious pizza, tried the gluten-free crust with Italian beef & hot giardinare, met my nutritional needs and satisfied my pizza desire!!!“

“I called at 2:45 and talked to Scott about picking up some frozen pizzas before driving back to Minnesota. He opened the doors for me, since they don't open until 4pm and sold them to me. That right there is customer service. A job well done!“

“Amazing food and service every time. The 8-finger cavatelli is made in house and amazing. The ahi tuna was out of this world with the mushrooms and risotto.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our team had the absolute BEST experience at La Sorella di Francesca! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, the food was incredible, and the service was next-level. A huge shoutout to Donny Greco, who went above and beyond to make us feel right at home—like we were dining with family. It’s rare to find that kind of genuine hospitality and care these days. If you’re looking for authentic Italian cuisine with heartfelt service, this is the place. We can’t wait to come back!“

“I have nothing but compliments for this wonderful establishment! My fiancé and I went out to dinner last night and had a taste for authentic Italian. I found this place online and read nothing but wonderful reviews about the food, and service. Located in downtown Westmont. Parking was so easy (right across the street), and from the moment we walked in we were treated like royalty. The manager Sergio greeted us with a huge smile, sat us, and told us a little about the restaurant. Our server Alysa was nothing short of amazing, knowledgeable, and gave us wonderful recommendations. We felt like family! All of the food is made in house, pastas, sauces, and even the wine and desserts! You can taste the quality of the ingredients, and tell that every single person puts so much care into making sure every customer is happy. The whole experience was wonderful, and it’s so nice to see small (not chain restaurants) are thriving. It’s been a long time since we had an experience like this at a restaurant and we appreciate their hospitality! I think we found our new date night spot! We will be back!! OFTEN! If I could give 10 stars I would! 👏🏻🍾🩷🙏🏻🫶🏻“

“Absolutely amazing food. Highly recommend“

“Food is fantastic with great portions. Get you some good food here.“

“INCREDIBLE Italian cuisine. Everything was made fresh to order by the owner himself, who also was our server! Small quaint little spot, like your typical little old school italian eatery in Little Italy! Highly reccommend! Oh, the best Vodka Sauce I have ever had in my life. Try the wrapped eggplant in Vodka Sauce, Maddone!“

“Food was fabulous! Margarita Pizza and cheesecake crepe both delicious“

“First time there and everything was delicious 👌. Will definitely be going back soon.“

“Wonderful place to dine., food was delicious and our server, Fidel, was thee BEST ever! Will definitely return when I’m in Illinois again.“

“Wonderful food and service!!“

“It’s a nice place to eat. Unfortunately there was a party of 10 celebrating a birthday. They was very loud and obnoxious. Couldn’t really enjoy the atmosphere. Staff didn’t tell them to lower their voices. Maybe they need a special room away from the front so that other paying customers can enjoy their meals and conversations.“

“Loved Papa Joe's of Lockport! It was my first time and I will definitely be back! The ambience, food, and staff are amaziiiing! ❤️“

“Traverso’s Restaurant – A Naperville Heartbeat Whenever Bruce and I walk through the door at Traverso’s, it’s like coming home to family. From the moment you arrive, the energy is warm, welcoming, and unmistakably local—a true neighborhood institution. Owners and brothers Paul Traverso and Mike Traverso have poured their hearts into this place since 1993. Their presence is felt in every hand-shaken introduction and every sincere “How’s everything tonight?” from the staff. There's genuine pride and care in how the restaurant is run, and it shows. The layout is perfect. The lounge/bar area buzzes with friendly chatter over cocktails, while the dining room remains cozy and intimate. It’s a thoughtful division—great for those who want to unwind at the bar, yet still prefer a quiet dinner elsewhere. The recent remodel enhanced that charm without losing the heart of the place. Now, the food—oh, the food. The grilled lemon chicken wings are a revelation: crisp, juicy, tangy, and always our order number one. But it's the pizza that holds a special place in our hearts. Imagine cracker-thin crust so light it melts on your tongue, topped with savory sausage and pepperoni in perfect harmony with the sauce—every bite unforgettable. Service is consistently on point. Every visit means attentive smiles, knowing nods, thoughtful refills, and food that arrives just when you're expecting it. It’s that comforting reliability that makes you feel cared for, always. This place isn’t just a restaurant—it’s ours. Whether for a casual Tuesday night or a family celebration in their elegant dining or event room, Traverso’s delivers excellence wrapped in familiarity. To everyone in Naperville: if you haven’t experienced the exceptional hospitality and authentic Italian fare here, you’re missing out on something special.“

“Love this place. Great flavorful food, great wait staff. Our “goto” place for great comfort food.“

“Food is excellent service was good definitely be back it must try to water the water is very good 👍“

“I’d like to think that if I had a Nonna, she’d be welcoming and never fail to overfeed me. Her food would be hearty and flavorful and she’d never let me leave empty handed. Well, Mamma Onesta’s is as close as I’ll ever get to having a Nonna of my own. Mamma Onesta’s was cozy with the most hospitable staff. She’s situated on the cutest corner of downtown Lockport. Her food is outstanding and the portions are unbelievable. Give this little family business a try - you wont be disappointed!“

“Very nice. Highly recommend. Excellent food, very good service, great atmosphere and ambiance. Will definitely be back.“

“Everything here is amazing!!!! Employees are great! Best pizza and subs around! Highly recommend!“

“This place has the best Italian food and customer service! The Capri Sogno staff makes you feel like family. Chef Robert and his chefs are artists at there craft! Love it his place!!!!“

“We had a private 70th Birthday at the Downer’s Grove location last weekend The food (buffet) was great, and the service was top notch. Our server Rocky and his team were on top of every detail. Our 55 guests were taken care of like we were family. I’d highly recommend this restaurant for your events!“

“This fast food restaurant surprised me. I came upon it totally by chance, had never heard of it,, and since I was in the Chicago area (not a common thing), and was heading out, it seemed like a good opportunity.

Ordered an Italian beef with hot peppers - the ONLY way to have it - and it was delicious; juicy, flavorful, and a good portion. I'd DEFINITELY try Buona's again without hesitation!“

“Their a top 10. The food quality is amazing, quick and they can serve groups of any size parties. The pizza is fabulous, Ruben are probably the best in the area, soups are great, cocktails are tasty. Just wonderful. It is worthy your money, enjoy.“

“We dined here tonight for the 1st time and Rosebud exceeded our expectations! Very welcoming from the moment we walked in until we left. Service was Great, Alex was very accommodating and knowledgeable. Food was outstanding, portions justified the price! Management was very helpful with a certificate that was no longer accepted but they honored it anyway as a courtesy. Great business sense, making the customer happy! We can't wait to come back!“

“We were there Friday night me and my best friend. The manager was exceptional. Food was on point like always.“

“I was on a soft diet for that diet and I thought of Olive Garden. I place a take out order because i had just left the hospital. I got there they was closed. I was willing to wait and i am glad i did. The food was great, Customer service meet my expectation. Branden was very friendly and professional. He is an asset to the company. I had not been to Olive Garden since you guys moved. I enjoyed my food. Hat off to the cooks. I will return very soon.“

“Fabulous food and service.“

“Paisans is quickly becoming one of our favorite restaurants. The bbq chicken salad is my favorite salad in the area. It's hearty, large portion, and always consistent. If you're into chicken vesuvio you should get it here yum yum yum especially the potatoes. We also enjoy their thin cut pizza because it's still thick enough to hold the toppings but is never burnt on the bottom like other places. The meat is quality too when it comes to the toppings we enjoy the pepperoni and sausage. The only potential negative is the restaurant is always extremely noisy but it's a pizzeria and bar so can't really expect anything different and the food is worth it.“

“Food was good. I had the spaghetti with meatballs...nice portion as well. What you see in the picture is what I'm bringing home so easily enough for 2 modest sized meal. My gf loved the pomegranate martini and had two....she said she caught a nice buzz“

“This is one of my families favorites. I am not as mich of a fan just because I am limited on what I can eat (keto). There are not very many keto options but either way everyone is always happy with the food and service. We ordered online and picked up last time and everything was fresh and hot. The guy who brought it out was friendly and thanked us.“

“You can’t beat the quality of the dishes they make…from scratch!! Best subs in the state and the chicken parmigiana is out of this world. Mike and his boys definitely get hospitality! Go now and get some!!“

“Our family had many memorable meals at Papa Passero’s as my three sons were growing up! It brings back wonderful memories! I was recently there with friends, and it still does a great job of taking care of whole families! Bravo!“

“Since we moved to the area in 2017 this has been our go to spot for my wife and two daughters, last night again did not disappoint - the food , service is on point every time! It’s nice to have a place to go to and wind down after a long week!“

“Beautiful restaurant in a great location. Food was amazing and staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Highly recommend.“

“We arrived late and were tired and hungry. Miss Maria was so nice and kind to serve us. My burger and my daughters salmon Caesar salad were wonderful. Miss Maria knew we were stressed out, she was there to take care of us. We were in town for my cousins funeral and Miss Maria was most accommodating of our needs. We returned in the am for a very nice breakfast.“

“My son found this gem in Lockport, our first order went to pickup and saw the owner .very down to earth person, food was great dessert was awesome. Future diners and only 9 minutes away from us . Everyone should come and enjoy good food here .“

“Absolutely loved dinner last night and can’t wait to return. Very authentic flavors. All four dishes were well prepared. Chicken Special w/Prosciutto & Fresh Mozz was wonderful. Fettuccine Alfredo - fantastic. Marinara Sauce - spot on. Table salad was delicious. Cocktails were delightful! Tiramisu Cannoli’s IT Ice - all just perfect. Our server made wonderful suggestions and was very attentive. The entire staff was very friendly and welcoming. Excellent experience all around. Really had a great time! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“very good razonable prizes“

“Great service and food! Sat in the bar area.“

“Stayed at the doubletree hotel and was very pleasantly surprised how great the food was at Osteria Italian restaurant. We dined here two nights in a row because it was so delicious. Julio our waiter was very attentive and friendly. Made our first evening at the restaurant memorable. I ordered the eggplant parmigiana and Caesar salad. It was wonderful. I had plenty of leftovers and can’t wait to enjoy the other half when I get home. My husband ordered rigatoni with chicken and the soup of the day. He had plenty left over for another meal also. Had two Tiramisu martinis and unfortunately ran out of room for dessert. The second night we sat in the bar for happy hour. Joey, the manager remembered us and made us feel like we were friends dining at his home. Handsome gentleman and incredibly friendly. Tony the bartender managed a full bar of people yet was very available to take our order. Happy hour is a great deal with $7 martinis and affordable large appetizers. Luckily we saved room to share a piece of Tiramisu. Absolutely divine. Can’t wait for our next visit to Chicago to dine here again. Highly recommended.“

“Food was good but service was terrible. Went to celebrate a birthday and made a reservation. We still had a wait for a table. The place was busy but the server didn't acknowledge us for a while. He didn't bring us water and when we asked he only brought glasses for half of our party. Then he brought oil for bread but never brought the bread! We ordered the Fettuccine alfredo and Quattro al Forno. We got the Fettuccine first and had to wait longer for the other entree. When we finally got the Quattro al Forno which it is supposed to have four items but it only had 3 items on the plate. When we asked he checked and said he grabbed the wrong plate as it was a special order for another table. He didn't attempt to rectify the situation and bring the missing item. He instead offered to bring a free dessert for the birthday. Customers that came in after us got their food much faster than us. We liked the food we got but we were extremely disappointed in the service.“

“Phenomenal food and service“

“Service was stellar- server brought me two samples of wine with no hesitation. . Food was excellent - meat and cheese board app was excellent. Ordered two pizzas - very good. Loved the crust! High quality.
I just did not prefer where I was sat -felt like a porch. Would like to sit in the main dining next time- this is just my preference .“

“The service was great love the decor and the pizza was delicious.“

“great service,delicious pizza,reasonably priced“
